Standards of conduct are applicable to
students anywhere on or off University-owned or affiliated property.
University property is defined as all real property, both that which is
owned or leased to and operated exclusively by the University and all
property leased to or operated by student organizations which are under
the jurisdiction and regulation of the University. The University does
not desire to be a policing authority for the activities of students
outside the University community; however, there are occasions when
students' off-campus behavior is reviewed and sanctioned by the
University. These occasions occur when students' off-campus conduct
impacts the well-being of the community or adversely affects the
environment of openness, trust, and civility. University involvement in
students' off-campus behavior is to be determined by the Dean of Student
Development.

The use of alcoholic beverages or other drugs will not relieve students
of the responsibility for their actions. Students will be given every
reasonable opportunity and all reasonable help to overcome any
dependency; however, students will still be responsible for their
actions.
